I was using gnome-do for a while and noticed the same thing when opening a sub-folder under Documents from there. Something caused it to take a minute or so to open. Not sure why. Now I have been using synapse and just open thunar from there, then navigate to sub-folder. Haven't had it happen again. <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 7, 2011 11:49 AM, "Lee Gold" <<a href="mailto:leegold@operamail.com">leegold@operamail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi, Using latest Xubuntu version. When I try opening a directory (clicking on a launcher or actual icon) , it will take so long that a dialog box opens saying it can not open, but at about that time the folder eventually opens. It's very slow. Is there any thing I can do to speed thing things up? My PC is fast and has plenty of RAM, other OS's running on it are pretty snappy...
